Over at AOW's, I repeated what a friend from New Hampshire told me about their anger at people from Mass moving in and changing the politics.

I included his term "Massholes" (his term, not mine) in an exchange with Ducky, and the lady we like despite her leftwardness did an entire blog screed on it, so I guess she is still lurking in Right Blogistan.

All she has demonstrated is how a fairly homogenous state with a below-average minority population and below-average population trends can do pretty well for itself. Nothing earth-shattering.

If hordes of rightwingchristian cowboys invaded the state and tipped it red, we'd be hearing red-faced howls of outrage and indignation from the progressives there.

People from Mass have it nice, and I congratulate them. I wish Colorado could learn their secret of having it so good but keeping it a secret so you don't end up with an invasion on your hands.

There must be some reason people are nor flocking to such a paradise...
